How to Use a Drop Down Menu in Joomla 2.5

Many templates do not have built in drop down menus. Coding your own drop down menu can be an extremely difficult task for most people; fortunately, Joomla has several great extensions on JED for drop down menus.

This tutorial will show you step by step how to create a drop down menu for your site using Maxi Menu CK which is also used as the main menu system at Joomla.org.

Menu to render - In this example, it's Top. This menu corresponds to the Top Menu in Menu Manager. You can select whichever one you want to appear (e.g. Main Menu, Customer Menu, etc).

Module ID - Create a unique ID

The rest of your parameters you can configure to your liking.

Congratulations! You just created a drop down menu in a matter of minutes. Now you can style the menu to your liking using the built in CSS files. If you don't know CSS, we have a great course on CSS in our coding class.
